Masked MC/producer MF Doom is rumored to be hospitalized for an undisclosed illness. Doom’s absence from the recently held New York-Tokyo Music Festival, for which he was slated to perform, as well as recent allegations that he’s been using doubles at live shows prompted several questions about the rapper’s well being. Though Doom’s label, Rhymesayers Entertainment, is yet to issue a formal announcement, concertgoers at the New York-Tokyo Music Festival were told the rapper couldn’t make it because he had been hospitalized.

Doom was accused of deceit by his fans after he enlisted a double to pose as him and lip-synch at one of his concerts.
